There were years and years where everyone around me was constantly discussing whether or not something was "biblical" or "Scriptural". I bought into it for years, being torn to and fro according to the latest popular biblical mandate. It took me years to realize that every time something was declared "biblical", it was really somebody's INTERPRETATION of a particular proof-text that was "biblical" and nothing else. At the heart of that was really people labeling their opinions and preferences as "biblical". These days I break out in hives when someone tries to say something is biblical. I think I mentioned this somewhere here before, but a while ago I went off on a guy on a message board who, when talking about different types of Bible studies, said, "But is it really BIBLICAL for women to have their own Bible studies?" Puke. He then went on to say that the next thing you know there will be Bible studies solely for left-handed people, blue-eyed people, and monkeys. Anyway, after I went off on him he told me that the reason I was so angry was because I had sin hidden in my heart, and he proceeded to question my salvation. lol Oh, this hits home for me.

When faced with this, some of his deacons and elders wanted to know "Is it Scriptural?" decided it wasn't and vetoed the idea. I kid you not...

That's a rather presumptuous and arrogant position to take. Fundamentalists can PREFER stuff all they like, but that's never enough for them. Instead they must always claim that THEY have the BIBLICAL position and anyone else is inferior, unbiblical, and wrong. The self-righteous pride in their assumptions of Biblical superiority is obvious to everyone but them.

They LOVE to conflate their specific, narrow reading of a passage with "God's way". I think this is one of the site’s finest posts because it is really the heart of our issue with fundy doctrine.

Ha, that made me laugh out loud. This is so true. They come up with an idea that isn't so bad, but eventually make it a dogma worthy of core doctrine. It is scary how it works and even scarier when you realize how serious they take these new "commandments." “One is left to suppose that requiring actual Bible passages and exegesis to support arbitrary standards is something that is decidedly not biblical.”

For example, rather than actually going out and interacting w/ the culture, we have our own "Christian" culture. And it's very Biblical, too. ;) Actually, Christians in general have done this by trying to make everything “Christian”.
